Shannon Leavitt 12th Annual Food Drive 2025

Help Us …. Feed Them!! 

The 12th annual event is organized by local resident Shannon Leavitt, who every December gathers donations of money, pet food, pet toys, blankets and supplies for the Humane Society’s Food Program’s cats and dogs.

 

“I wanted to make a difference,” Leavitt said about her inspiration for the annual pet food drive. “I wanted to do something that would actually impact somebody, that would help not only one person, but the whole community. I’m a huge animal lover and I love people. If I can help the humane society, I know that they go 100 percent for the community. If I help them, they can help all of Pocatello.”

Since the inception of Leavitt’s pet food drive, the event has helped provide funds and essentials to the Bannock Humane Society. Every year the food drive continues to grow, providing holiday cheer to the society and its many pets looking for forever homes. “I wanted to just do something great and it’s turned into the most beautiful thing that I’ve ever done in my whole life,” Leavitt said.

Hosted at Albertsons grocery store, 330 E. Benton Street, the pet food drive runs from December 12 to December 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day.

For anyone looking to donate, they can bring any

variety of cat or dog food, pet beds, kitty litter, blankets and pet toys to Albertsons where Leavitt will have a table set up where she will collect all the items. Monetary donations will also be accepted.

At the end of the food drive, Leavitt will transport everything that’s been donated to the Bannock Humane Society just in time for Christmas.

Microchipping Program

Exciting News!! The Bannock Humane Society offers microchipping at the Wednesday Spay / Neuter Clinics from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.! 

As you come-in to enroll your dog or cat in the Healthy Pet Program for their health shots and spay / neutering, add in an affordable microchip to protect them should they become lost or stray. 

Or, if your dog or cat is already spay / neutered, bring them to the BHS just for the microchipping. 

The microchip will be embedded by the veterinarian working with the BHS on the Wednesday night you come. The wonderful veteriarians who work with the BHS are from  Hawthorne Animal Hospital. 

The cost is: $20.00 per animal and $15.00 per animal for folks over 60 years of age. No checks please. Cash or Paypal work nicely. 

Come and protect your furry family with a microchip, it can bring them home if they are lost!!
